Description

JCC is a customized intranet solution to clients to maximize the usage of the journals they subscribe. It acts as an internal database of all articles published in these subscribed journals for searching and finding the contents in these journals.

Benefits

• Table of Contents (with abstract where available) for all the journals subscribed by the client.
• A searchable customized database of index to articles published in all the journals subscribed by the client - Searchable by Author, Title words, keywords, publication, author affiliation or any combination.
• Link to the corresponding full-text of the article in e-version at publisher's site. The link will be available from both TOC and citations in the database. If the client has additional subscription to e-version of the journal, JCC provides a seamless access between TOC/Database and full-text.
• Automated Password Authentication System (Users need not remember several passwords for various journals they access).

How it Works

• Along with purchase contract for JCC, the client will make available a list of journals subscribed by his library that are required to be included in the JCC service.
• Informatics will identify and inform the client the journals that are not available online. (Available in print version only). For such journals not available online, the client will send to informatics the following information regularly for each issue as and when the same is received in his library.

1. Photocopy of the Table of Contents from the current journal issue.
2. Photocopy of the first page of each article from the current journal issue.

• For journals available online, Informatics has an in-house data-capturing system.
• Informatics will license to the client its JCC software to be installed in client's intranet.
• Bibliographic content for the current issues of the journals covered in JCC subscription is delivered to the client electronically by FTP or email every week. The client will host and regularly update this content on the JCC server set up for this purpose.
• The content is cumulated periodically, every quarter.
• The users at the client organization can access JCC content from their desk-top using Internet Explorer.
• Informatics will provide necessary training and technical support in installing, using and maintaining the JCC software and service by the client.
